I have been working hard to learn how to FMQ. You all solved my breaking needles problem so now I bring my latest dilemma.
I use Machingers which work great. My prob. now is getting my quilt to move more smoothly across my machine. There seems to be such a drag that it gives me fits. I don't care for the idea of the Slider since even Leah Day has difficulties with it.
What can I do to make my quilt glide more smoothly?

Go to the search & type in Homemade Quilting Table. I used this picture to copy one for me. My husband made it out of some scrap lumber that he had in the garage & then I stapled batting, fabric and then the clear vinyl to the wood. The vinyl really helps in the movement of the fabric. I made mine so I can use it as shown in the picture to fmq, but I've also turned it where the machine is facing normal at times. Of course, my machine is not in a cabinet. It sits on a 6' folding table. I think there is also a posting where someone uses styrofoam boards covered in vinyl, but I didn't have the space for something that large.
